| Abstract | "What happens once we disappear into the woodwork? Erica Skyberg is thirty-five years old, recently divorced -- and trans. Not that she's told anyone yet. Mitchell, South Dakota, isn't exactly bursting with other trans women. Instead, she keeps to herself, teaching by day and directing community theater by night. That is, until Abigail Hawkes enters her orbit. Abigail is seventeen, Mitchell High's resident political dissident and Only Trans Girl. It's a role she plays faultlessly, albeit a little reluctantly. She's also annoyed by the idea of spending her senior year secretly guiding her English teacher through her transition. But Abigail remembers the uncertainty -- and loneliness -- that comes with it. Besides, Erica isn't the only one struggling to shed the weight of others' expectations. As their unlikely friendship evolves, it comes under the scrutiny of their community. And soon, both women -- and those closest to them -- are forced to ask: Who are we if we choose to hide ourselves? An incisive and joyous debut about the awkwardness of growing up and the greatest love story of all -- that between us and our friends -- Woodworking is a tonic for the moment and a celebration of womanhood in all its multifaceted joy" -- Jacket flap. |
